His statement on this subject coincides precisely with that of former Secretary of the Navy Dan iels, who, in testimony before the Naval Committee last winter, warned Congress that in case America re mains outside the League of Nations, it is ;he imperative duty of this na tion io have the greatest navy in the world. Senator Lodge is thus hoisted by his own petard, compell ed as he is now to recognize that this madness in keeping the United States out of the League has forced upon the debt burdened American people continuation and increase present staggering burdens result ing from necessary military and naval armament. The Lodge polcy has made of the United States little less than an Ish maelite among nations. The pending tariff bill as well as the Emergency tariff now in effect gives the finish ing touch to the policy of isolation that has increased the army of un employed, cut down exports to for eign countries and foreign imports to this country und spread industrial depression from coast to coast. It is idle in Senator Lodge or any of his associates who wrought this work of assassination of the country's industry and commerce to set up this belated plea in defense of maintain ing existing armament on the pro- sent scale. Every one knows that so long as the folly that he fathered persists in the Washington govern ment, the nation must have arma ment in constantly increasing magnitude. Paradoxical though jit may seem this increased armament is slaying the thing it feeds on. The more mon ey required by this policy, the longer will be continued the present de pressed conditions, which Senator Lodge, in his speech in the Senate recently stressed.

For particulars write, phone or call on The record of the Hyers family i Nebraska embraces the story of fi ft years of service as law enforcemen officials from Ruben W. Hyers down to the grandson, "Hud" Hyers, vl is just branching into this line o work. In speaking of the matter the Omaha Bee has the following in teresting account of the work of this notable family: "Yesterday, it was Reuben Hyers sheriff of Cass county, a horseman who rode hard and fast after cattl rustlers alid other criminals of th day. Later it was Reuben Hyers warden of the state penitentiary, dep u ty warden and turnkey. Right now Reuben Hyers, 79, hale and hearty is keeping pace with men in thei 20s in guarding prisoners at the Greenwood convict road camp. Gus Now Leader "More recently it has been Gus Hyers, 47, sheriff of Lancastc county, who, with former Chie Rriggs of South Omaha, either shJt or captured the gang who. under the leadership of "Shorty" Gray, shot their way out of the state peniten tiary. Now it is State Sheriff Gus Hyers, chosen by Governor McKelvie organizer of Nebraska's state police force, who, in powerful motor cars chases jailbreakers and criminals. "Tomorrow, it will be Bud Hyers now 21, grandson and son, respec tively of the former two. who, pos sibly, in an airplane, will do his bit to catch the convicted criminals. For Bud is proving that police officers iike poets, artists and other masters of arts and sciences, are born and not made. Wants Bud to Farm "Gus likes hair-raising experiences but he doesn't think much of a repetition of them by Bud. For four years Gus has dug down in his nockets and produced the coin which in another year will make Bud graduated farmer from the state ag ricultural college. " 'It's a of a jol) making a farmer out of that boy,' Gus said the other day. "Not that Bud is antagonistic to the cows, chickens and swaying fields jf golden grain. Bud loves all those things if he can pass them in a speedy motor car, in a chase after jonvicts, at the rate of 60 to 70 miles in hour. But when it comes to an intensive study of such things. Bud, to quote his father, 'isn't a success.' Always on the Job "Funme.-t thing about that boy." Gus said. 'Never can find him when there are lessons to learn, but if there is any excitement or long drives to make, there's Bud out in the car saying: " 'Wnere to, dad? "Furthermore, Bud always weath ers the verbal storm bis presence elicits, and he goes. "When Gus was gone a couple, of weeks ago looking for former Banker Claridge, two convicts escaped. It was Bud who led the chase after hem, Roing at from 60 to 70 miles an hour. It was Hans Nielson, head of the state Bertillion system and veteran Omaha police officer, who in another car was trying to keep up with Bud. Nielson lost control of his machine and went over a 15-foot embankment. He is walking with a cane as a result. Airplane Offer Unsettled "It is Bud who wants to take ad vantage of the offer of W. B. Hughes, secretary of the Nebraska State Bankers' association, to give Gus an airplane. Gus is dubious about ac cepting the ofTcr; Bud insists upon accepting it. "The controversy over the use of an airplane for state police duty is still on in the Hyers family."

I i 1 r a n ae ror men are ma wh Think for Themselves Such folks know real quality and DEMAND it. They prefer Camels because Camels give them the smoothest, mellowest smoke they can buy because they love the mild, rich flavor of choicest tobaccos, perfectly blended and because Camels leave NO CIGARETTY AFTERTASTE. Like every man who does his own thinking, you want fine tobacco in your cigarettes. You'll find it in Camels. And, mind you, no flashy package just for show. No extra wrappers! No costly frills! These things don't improve the smoke any more than premiums or coupons.' But QUALITY! Listen! That's CAMELS! I In. $4 TURKISH DOW577C' S v tCOU J NT" I I K. J. RITB0LDS ToWr.

PLAYGROUND OF THE LEGION The plans are being materialized for the formation in this city of a voiture of the "Nationale La Societe des 10 Hommes et S Chevaux," which has in the last few months been gaining in popularity among the members of the American Legion. This organization is composed of men who are also members of the Americian Legion and the title is clearly understood by the service men who have had experience in France or any part of Europe during the late war. It is the playground of the service men and here they find the spirit of good humor and pleasure exemplified to its fullest. It has no dull moments and the initatory ceremonies are such as to creat the greatest of in terest both for the initated and those who are eye witnesses of the event. It is necessary to secure fiften of the legion men to secure the charter and those who desire to recall mem ories of the chemin de fer have only to secure an application blank, fill it out and prepare to have one of the times of their lives. Raymond Larson is officiating as the chef de gare in getting the or ganization launched and will be glad to put anyone wise as to the order. and poles. Call M. G. Stava, phone 4220.
